To this end, there were actions to deal with problems related to lack of detention areas in the premises of the Hellenic Police, whilst at the same time orders have been issued to all of our regional Services, with instructions-orders for the absolute compliance with their requirements, as these derive from the effective provisions and international conditions.

We also follow up the whole matter, by intervening, with special orders-instructions, in case we find lacks-malfunctions, to immediately improve the conditions. In particular, aiming at ensuring the improvement of the detention conditions and the protection of the health of the detainees, but also of the staff of the Hellenic Police Services, specific orders and instructions, among others, have been given on the following:  To ensure the necessary sanitation conditions (personal hygiene and cleanliness of the detainees) and security conditions in the detention areas  To clean thoroughly and to beautify the detention areas (regular painting)  To disinfect regularly the spaces (especially the toilets and the linen), according to the effective provisions and sanitation rules of the Sanitation Regulation,  To directly deal with any problems of heating (hot water supply), air-conditioning, ventilation, etc and lighting of the detention areas and the yard of the detainees (according to the structural potential),  To provide the detainees with healthcare, in cooperation with the proper Healthcare Services  The proper sanitation Service to make periodic sanitation checks of the detention areas  To provide sufficient meals  To protect the personal and other prescribed rights of the detainees.
